  7. Yei/Energy Power of yei (mental intention) and energy movement and exchange. You have just had an intro to qi gong. Movement with energy, purpose/intention, and emotional content. Energy is not just an esoteric concept. Not just hippy talk. It is real and obtainable, moveable, and can be created.

  8. My thoughts This will be largely experiential in nature Glimpse of DBT and Qi Gong concepts Enhance your interest in movement work Increase your self care Provide an option to talk therapy Share energy with you Become more Energized and/or Relaxed Have FUN!!!!

  10. Creation of DBT Marsha Linehan created DBT to help in the treatment of people with Borderline Personality disorders. Eclectic treatment modality...Western explanation of Eastern philosophies particularly Buddhism (mindfulness, centeredness, non judgmental stance, non-attachment).

  11. Why Use DBT? • DBT helps clients with years, possibly decades of invalidation. • Invalidation contributes to the creation of: • Severe emotional dysregulation. • Lack of mindfulness of self and others. • Poor care for self, low self-soothing skills and capability. • Extreme rigidity. • Catastrophizing life (continually perceiving and creating crisis). • Lashing out at self and others. • Extreme fear and anxiety. • Lack of understanding connections within the self and others. • Oscillating violently from one side to the other.

  12. PopulationReviewing the previous slide,Examine how other populations that you work with also share similar struggles (to varying degrees) that DBT was created to help heal.

  13. Population Both DBT and Qi Gong have shown effectiveness with all populations. I have run both groups and individual counseling sessions using this specific combinations with these populations: Borderline personality, bi-polar, depression, anxiety, addictions, ADHD, anger management, communication struggles, schizophrenia, domestic violence, PTSD, chronic fatigue, and pain management.

  14. DBT • Four major areas to help client build skills and abilities: • Mindfulness. • Emotional Regulation. • Distress Tolerance. • Interpersonal Effectiveness.

  15. Philosophy of Qi Gong Qi Gong is the embodiment of mindfulness. A student of Qi Gong learns to focus the mind, utilize her/his energy to center and ground her/himself. The end result is learning how to balance/regulate the mind, body, and soul. The Qi Gong practitioner calms her/his mind and body and therefore can truly experience the present moment, the here and now.

  16. Qi Gong/Tai Chi As a martial art, Qi Gong/Tai Chi hones awareness of the self and one's surroundings. It builds skills of discipline, perseverance, commitment, patience, and hard work. In Tai Chi, a student must honor the process, understanding that life is forever constant and changing (fluidity) The philosophy and the practice of Tai Chi are clearly transferable to DBT's theme of mindfulness and to its treatment modalities.

  17. Taoist Principles in Tai Chi Principles of yielding, softness, centeredness, slowness, balance, suppleness, and rootedness are elements of Taoist philosophy that have been incorporated into the movements of Tai Chi.

  18. Key Tai Chi Principles • Balance • Remember there are always two sides to the whole. Embrace both. Allow the hard and soft to flow into each other. Know that each side is needed to be whole. • Interconnectedness • Everything is linked together. Your body, your mind, and your soul are all connected. If you feed positive healthy energy into your soul, your mind and body will also benefit. Just as if you feed your body healthy food, your mind and soul will gain good energy. • Flow • Try not to resist. Resistance brings weakness and disparity. Do not waste energy fighting. Bend and let it pass by you. Let your life flow, accepting all parts of yourself, your life, and your environment. • Sung • Relax. Relax your body, relax your mind. Breath deeply and slowly. Allow Chi to flow in and out of your body. Relaxing with conviction and significant intention.
